Got the munchies?

Heyyy!
Here in Texas you can get guacamole just about everywhere. Even at IHOP, although I don't really recommend that. You can also get good avocado's if you buy them several days in advance..yes they could break the windshield of your car if thrown, but let them sit for 3 days and they are perfection.
I have a true love for guacamole, year round we are inseparable friends. I put it on chili, I put it on taco's, I put it on omelets stuffed with crab and swiss. I use it as a dip, dressing, general all around condiment y'all. Taquitos and this guacamole are almost like poetry.
That being said, Mr. Wonderful thinks that tomatoes are the devil, so i have concocted a guacamole recipe that he says is the best he has ever had, anywhere anytime. Yes, this is part of the reason we call him Mr. Wonderful.
Without further ado.
Kelli's Guacamole
2 Avocados
Generous teaspoon of minced garlic
One small white onion; medium chop
One bunch of cilantro, stems removed and chopped
2 Limes
Salt to taste
Hot sauce (tabasco, tipatio, or the like)
Mash avocado against sides of a bowl with fork, add in the garlic, onion cilantro and the juice of 1 lime.
Taste the mix.
Add salt and hot sauce.
Taste again.
Add more lime, salt and hot sauce if needed.
Remember to consider what you are eating with the guac. when adding salt. If you plan to eat with salted chips, you might not want so much. If eating with Chili or on a chicken breast, you will want more.
Store in the fridge by covering with saran wrap over the actual top of the guac. No air between the guacamole and the saran wrap will keep it green until you serve this. The air is what will make it turn brown.
For tomato lovers such as myself. i will usually add along side a good pile of pico de gallo or salsa.
Isnt there a football game this weekend?

No kidding this is the best guacamole in town. Actually it's the best in the state. It is even better than the guacamole in Punta Allen, Mexico, although you can catch a lot more bonefish and tarpon in Mexico than you can in Loserveal, TX.
